I've used @Gillette razors my entire adult life but this absurd virtue-signalling PC guff may drive me away to a company less eager to fuel the current pathetic global assault on masculinity.

The ad is literally displaying only a few select men stepping up.. how is that not suppose to be interpreted as that most men are bad?

Just looked at his Twitter page, and no, I kinda think he really meant everything he said.

I'm going straight out to purchase Gilette replacement blades, so I can use them. Good on the campaign.

If two girls consent to wrestle and do so. Fine.

If one girl says stop and the other doesn't stop. Not fine.
This isnt a hard concept.
